I am about to buy an iPOD and wondered if anyone had any experience of the device and any feedback? Everything i have read and heard is very positive so i think it's the right choice. At sales approaching 140 per hour from Apple it must be doing something right - or it is the biggest marketing hoodwink in a while!

also, apple regularly offers refurb models (usually unsold demo or end of life products, around 20-30% off) from it's online store, but only after 10am on wednesday mornings. look to the right menu, and select 'refurbished store'.

Thanks for the feedback - i have ordered a 20gig ipod and ended up buying from macdiscounts.co.uk which were selling it for £277 which is cheaper than everywhere else. I nearly opted for Amazon as they had it at £289 but Mac have undercut them further which i though unusual for the manufacturer site..

What i am now after is a sports case so that i can use it while running....ideally one that straps to the arm? Anyone any suggestions where you could buy such a thing?

Hi, I had a palm pilot V a few years ago and updated to an ipaq h3850 about 2 years ago now i guess (?) brilliant device which i use constantly...synchs with outlook etc etc....i use it for spreadies (pocket excel) and word (pocket word) more than anything so in this respect i use it just like a filofax (how 80's!)

great devices and with Palms and Sony's for around £200 you can't go wrong...
